Sonic and the gang was brought up to a room in one of the towers in the palace. The room had some beds and decorations on the walls, some resembling cave paintings. A skull of a Deinosuchus was hanging on the ceiling. For lights the room had lanterns by candles.

"Well, I hope you all feel comfortable here" Noire said.
"Um thanks. But just one question Noire. Who are you and where do you come from and how did you get here?" Sonic turned to face Noire.

"If you like some answers, please sit down" Noire said. Sonic and his friends did as they were told as Noire took off her golden helmet, revealing her face.

"It's a long story but I can make it short. I was from a village in Kenya where they are all lions and that's where my family lives at" Noire said.
"Wait a minute...You come from the lion village?" Silver was curious.
"You know the place?" Noire asked.
"Yes, our cyborg friend Cyo comes from there" Silver said. Noire's eyes opened wide at hearing Cyo's name.

"Cyo? I remember that name" Noire said.
"You know him too?" Silver asked again.
"Yes. We grew up together and one more thing, he is my cousin" Noire revealed to them that she is in fact related to Cyo.
"You're Cyo's cousin?" Sonic was surprised.

"Yes and how did you met him?" Noire asked.
"Well I found him when Eggman attacked once and he told me how Eggman made him into a cyborg so I offered him a part of the team. Now tell us how you got here in the first place?" Sonic said.

"It all started when a echidna named Crimson came to my village to start a carnage there. Man I remember those metallic claws he has on his hands. He gave me these when I tried to attack him" Noire showed two scars on her right wrist. Sonic and the gang were shocked that she was one who faced the twisted Crimson and survived.

"He was almost going to kill me when Cyo managed to take him down with his new mechanical arm of his. However as he was defeated, he swore to get back at Cyo one day. But the aftermath of the fight made me lose my dignity and courage. As I departed on a boat, it wasen't long enough until it came into a mist out of nowhere when the mist suddenly cleared and that's where I discovered Mesozoic Island. When I came to the city, I was first seen as a threat when King Giganoto wanted to see what I'm capable of. He brought me to the arena and I challenged many warriors of different dinosaur species though my agility and shadow manipulation gave me advantage until Tarbo brought me down. Since I was second place, Giganoto offered a place as his adviser and trusted captain of the guards. But since I have been living on the island I wished I would go back and see my family again" Noire finished her story, shredding a tear upon mentioning her family.

"I'm sorry to hear that. But don't worry we came here with bi-planes so there's a chance" Tails said, feeling sorry for Noire.
"Really? Good. But before departure, I could show you the island around" Noire said.
"It would be a pleasure Noire. By the way, did you say you have shadow manipulation?" Tails asked about Noire's powers.

"Like this?" Noire became darker and blended into the shadows and became like invisible and crawls to the groups silhouettes and wraps into Sonic's shape.

"Whoa!" Sonic was shocked seeing his silhouette moving by itself before it turns back to Noire.
"Surprised?" Noire asked.
"Amazing. But how could Crimson still get at you?" Sonic asked.
"He was quick to move before I even could attack him in the shadows" Noire said.

"Damn. But I can tell you me and my team including Cyo managed to defeat him many times" Sonic said. Noire was cheered up at hearing that Sonic and his team has managed to defeat him many times.

"Great" Noire said. She then eyes the window.
"Say Noire, when can we start sight seeing?" Blaze asked.
"Lets say we do it tomorrow" Noire said.
"Alright, just asking" Blaze said.

Deep in the jungle, Shinu has made up a fire and roasted a dead compsognathus over the fire like a roasted chicken. As soon it's done she takes it from the fire and started to eat it. Around the place, Shinu could see the sauropods like Diplodocus and Apatosaurus eating from the trees in the moon light.

"It's beautiful" Shinu said to herself. She was about to take another bite from the compy when her communicator beeped.

"Hai?" She answered it.
"Agent Shinu. Have you reached the emeralds yet?" Eggman asked Shinu.
"Not yet Egguman-san. I'm having my dinner" Shinu responded.
"Mmhmm. Well I got another thing in mind. You will also collect a few dinosaur eggs and bring them to me. I recommend those dinosaurs that seem fast and strong. With them I shall make them the perfect weapons" Eggman said on the communicator.

Shinu was quiet for a moment before she agreed on the idea.
"With pleasure Egguman. I think I know just the right dinos you need" Shinu grinned.
"Excellent. Don't fail me on this one. Eggman out" Eggman hung up.

"Watashi wa ashita doko de hajimerubeki ka seikaku ni shitte imasu (I know exactly where to start tomorrow)" Shinu said sinisterly.
